Can anyone tell me how Ace of Spaded got approved?
I thought Indie-Developers have to use Steam Greenlight nowadays or did Valve change it again?

The game was taken over by Jagex, I don't think they're indie

I guess the question now is how Jagex got approved. The forums are in a near riot state over the lag. It's a shame because Ace of Spades looks really fun.

Apparently this penguin pic is changing everyone's pic on Steam, it's some form of exploit currently on steam:

God... waiting for the damn summer sale was torture. I had just built a computer, and I didn't want to pay for games I knew would be on sale later.
I own Batman on Steam and Origin, and I got it very cheap, and when my keys will be out, it will probably 2$ on steam by the time. People are overly obsessed with DRM that they forgot the real deal.
Not that I vote for DRM over DRM (steam is enough for me) but honestly, this is not a big deal.
I can't recommend Defenders Quest enough. It's like an RPG mixed with tower defense. I usually hate TD games, but this one manages to bring the fun. Instead of placing towers you put troops down onto the battlefield. You choose from a Berserker/Ranger/Ice mage/Knight/Healer/Dragon. Each has it's own strengths and weaknesses. Each map location has 4 different difficulties to beat. As you beat the tougher ones you get better weapons and armor and in-between levels you choose your upgrades on a skill tree.
The story is so-so but I really dug the game overall. (58hrs so far)
Some other pluses,
Newgame +
Export and import save games (came in useful for me with dropbox and my laptop)
Adjustable exp options in the menu
Crazy achievements (beat the whole game with only the original 6 and no recruits? Yes please!)
Long demo if you want to try it out first
6 spells to cast (Lightening bolt/Fury/Heal/Crystal bomb/Enemy bump back/Fireball)

Javaman is just trying to trick us all. The real secret is that Java is addicted to any game with "Defender" somewhere in the title.
Yep. I hate tower defense games (RTS for people bad at video games) but Defender's Quest is amazing.
I do. I want my games to be usable for as long as I live, provided that I have the right hardware to run them. Having an install limit goes against that, and I'd be paying for something that I may not be able to use in the future.
Still, I may pick it up if it's cheap enough. $5 for the GOTY editions of both games wouldn't be too bad.
But GFWL
I pre ordered AC and still haven't played it, combination of GFWL fucking me around and not liking the new open world approach
...so then why did you pre-order it if you didn't like the new open world approach? And how would you know you don't like the open world approach if you haven't played it for yourself? :-/
You'll die because of not eating that much?

More like Christmas is ruined.
I didn't know I didn't like it until I played it, and when I say I didn't play it I mean beyond an hour or so in

While I'm looking forward to the sale myself, do people really give Steam games for the Holidays? I'll be buying them for myself...so doesn't really matter when it happens, really.
Yeah the summer sale wait was torturous, but the Christmas one is in a couple of days? Wow did that sneak up on me.
Are there any hints of what's to come? I really hope they scatter achievements through heaps of different games again, I love that shit so much.

I don't want any games from this upcoming sale.
Until the sale arrives
Until the sale arrives
Or you could have grabbed it for $4 like I did
Seriously, I don't care about DRMs for such a cheap game, I just want to play the damn game

I wonder how cheap Skyrim will be. Probably not that cheap, huh?

Ah, that hour makes all the difference. And you should keep on playing, but I'm sure you've heard that already.
I bit that bullet with Dark Souls, and the SecuRom one with the free Origin games and BioShocks, so I'm immune to that. Limited installs can still hurt me

Probably 50-66% if I had to guess.
I don't think it'll hit $20.
This far from release? Wouldn't be shocking.
They had a coupon available during the winter sale that lasted long enough to make it $20 during another sale, and that was nearly a year ago.

How about Dark Souls? Anyone have a guess price wise?
Is the Steam version good?

More money for Amazon and GMG.
